Originally posted in December 2012, you may be thinking, "hang on, I thought this one was back up?" About a fortnight ago, I got a ID claim on the review that wasn't released, which blocked the review in a number of territories. Since the previous post was a slightly re-edited version of the review I had created for DailyMotion rather re-cutting further for KZfaq, as I usually do now, and I was unhappy with the voiceover, I took the opportunity to go through the process of remastering it, even though I don't have the original files. This is also to tie in with Rob Cohen's new film The Hurricane Heist. This version runs 4m 51s shorter than the original (!), with the following changes: - *NEW* voiceover for 80% of the review. The main body is the review is almost totally re-voiced, and much of the running time loss is the fact I'm no longer exaggerating my vocals; that it's such a dramatic difference makes me wish I had been more natural back then. The video has been recut to fit the new flow. - Upscaled to 720p, the previous re-post was 360p. - The opening and closing voiceover, which could not be replaced due to the background music, have been tweaked and trimmed to remove the dragging, as best as possible. - Likewise, all the on-camera footage has also had the audio greatly altered to alleviate the elongated syllables. Obviously I can't totally change my performance, and this is from the "shouty period", so be aware that my performance is a bit excessive. - Cut down some of the film clips. - Added a clip from The World is Not Enough to illustrate my point. - Two minor lines I snipped because I think they fall flat. I think this new version is an enormous improvement, and I'm much happier with it now. Even if you've seen it before, give it another look, and see it again for the first time. Have fun!

"The next time you recruit someone to save the world make sure it's someone who likes the world the way it is"! I actually liked this line!

Triple X is one of those guilty pleasure action movies in the vein of Commando; an over-the-top, drenched in cheese, check-your-brain-at-the-door escapist flick that you watch with popcorn in one hand and beer in the other... preferably with a group of friends. And if nothing else, it serves as a great time capsule for the state of pop culture during the time period it came out in.

Sadly at the end, where X parachutes onto AHAB, a stuntman died when he collided with the bridge as his safety harness wouldn't release and most of this footage is shown on screen, minus the point where he slammed into the bridge and died. Which you would think would be insulting to his memory, "we are sorry our stupid stunt killed your loved one, but budget constraints mean we will use his last moments in our movie", I bet his family loved that.

Agent XXX is also the codename of Bond girl Anya Amasova.

As dumb as this movie can get, I still like it as a guilty pleasure.

I love the way this movie was parodied in Hoodwinked!

Love this movie no matter what Film Brain says about it He's just not X-TREEEEEEEEEEEME!!! enough to handle the TOTALLY RADICAL EDGY 2000s DUDE!!! Nah seriously though this review is one of my favorites from Bad Movie Beatdown, even if I do miss the ANGRY voice overs from the original review.

I think the 'extreme' obsession of the early 2000's was the last dying breath of the 90's. The 90's lived and breath the idea of being 'extreme' but the 90's version was very childish with lots of bright colors and weird shapes. The 'extreme' of the early 2000's was modeled after Call of Duty. Being extreme by being 'dark, gritty, realistic, and brown'

In the diner scene, X should have known it was a fake by the waitress knowing they were about to be robbed before the robbers pulled their guns.

0:22 That "Just Got Laid" face always makes me smile lol

'90s Kid loves this movie.

Diesel = Stallone. Actor in serious films who graduated to action films while doing the occasional serious films Johnson = Schwarzenegger. Action star know for huge biceps, one-liners and tongue-in-cheek action films. Wahlberg = Willis. Evenly mixes his action films with more serious and comedic films. Are we gonna get a Planet Hollywood reboot?

15:21 Did he say Ford GTO? I guess that would be hard to find since the GTO was made by Pontiac.

3:54 ME: *heavy breathing* RAMMSTEIN IS METAL!

Awesome! As an epileptic I appreciate the warning at the beginning of this episode! Keep rocking and thanks for the laughs 😀

Even if the movie without the action scenes appears to be dull, I appreciate for its nostalgia with the fashion style and the cute little videophone Diesel has the Motorla Vbox 100 ^^

Yeah, I noticed that a lot of people complain about your vocals dragging, but I didn't mind it much at all, but hey, it's a mayority opinion. Fun fact about me watching the Triple X movie; well, it's second sequel, really. See, I saw Return Of Xander Cage...FREE. ON IMAX. What happened was that in the theater I was in, they screwed up the IMAX Rogue One showing by the last 40 minutes or so of the screen turning a bit green at times, and as a result, they gave us tickets for a free IMAX movie, and I KNEW what movie to pick it for since, well, how often do you get see a IMAX 3D movie for FREE? I did enjoy the sequel in a stupid fun kind of way, although me seeing it for free...might be a bit of the cause, but it being a little self-aware that it was silly did help a bit.

xXx turns 20 today! I remember i saw it at the Strand theater with my sisters This was following Vin Diesel's success after Fast & Furious 1, thankfully it paved the rest of his career Same summer as Bourne Identity making secret agents cool but with an extreme youthful twist My guess is this was a precursor to Samuel L. Jackson's role as Nick Fury for the MCU The action and stunts are a lot of fun, this popularized the use of extreme sports and stunts in action movies and inspired many imitators Raises the adrenaline even higher thanks to director Rob Cohen Glad the movie gained a cult following despite mixed reviews and lead to 2 sequels What a time capsule too; full of references to popular culture at the time, including fashion, music, and technology

Return of Xander Cage is what this movie wasn't. While xXx tried to have it's cake and eat it too, Return of Xander Cage knows exactly what it is; a fun, self-aware, balls-to-the-walls action movie, unlike this one which tried to be both self-aware and serious that it ended up being just embarassing. And most of all, *Return of Xander Cage did not pander to it's demographic!*

22:38 Plus Deisels characters and himself barely ever say much. lol How much could she even hear him say from behind a door with such a low gravely barely used voice? lol

To me, this film was pretty fun and intense.

I know this movie is stupid as hell, but I can't help but love it. I'm a huge fan of dumb action movies, and this was my guilty pleasure. In a long list of guilty pleasures...

The waitress roll her eyes when he says "no way that a career waitress would come to work in high heels, she would have blisters the size of pancakes before lunch" did the "waitress" wear heels on purpose or not ?

this is not a film, it's a cartoon with real-life actors.

for the record, even destroying the car Vin Diesal's character is only guilty of a misdemeanor because the senator gave him the keys... US law is weird and broken

23:09 Rectangular watches along with square-toed shoes, man's most repulsive creations.

It’s funny they picked ice cube to be in the sequel, cause before he stared in the comedy barber shop.

"You know how James Bond would occasionally have to shoot an ally?" Uh, there has never been a scene in any of the Bond films where he has to do that. The closest is in The Living Daylights, where he...actually pretends to shoot an ally. Like what Xander Cage does.

Nah, we have Jason Bourne . 😁

I actually really like this film. It's by no means a good movie but it's a film that goes full-out with being a guilty pleasure. Compared to the Bond film that came out the same year, it's far more preferable.

How does film brain only have 30,000 subs?

this is a great movie

i lost count of how many times he got captured. is that the only way the writers could come up with scene transitions?

Even though the German metal band Rammstein make a cameo in this, I am SO glad I never saw it!

Speaking of Tony Hawk Boom-Boom Sabotage, are you ever gonna review that? TOMORROW IS SO FAR AWAY, SKATE SKATE SKATE

I love this movie as dumb fun no matter what Film Brain says. Liked Return Of Xander Cage as well. 2nd one not so much. Film Brain should do a Bad Movie Beatdown on that

I'm really surpised a good amount of people didn't like this movie.

I loved this movie growing up its soo damb good

Nice video. 👍 By the way, why isn't your video of Stealth on KZfaq? At the moment, it can only be seen on Dailymotion. Same with the review of 2012 films.

The only good thing about this movie is the Feuer Frei! Music video.

You corrected your pronunciation of Rammstein? Thank you!

What on earth does anti-authoritarianism have to do with approving of mass murder? THOSE ARE NOT CONNECTED THINGS, FILM BRAIN

Jason Bourne would like a word with you! :)

This film is so cheap, especially for a hollywood action movie that was supposed to capitalize on the fast and the furious success . Instead of that, we have to go through a lot of bullshit, including an underacting Diesel outrunning an AVALANCHE for the sake of having a pointless EXXXTREEEEEEME stunt sequence just to keep the audience awake. But the worst are the props : Diesel's oversized swiss army gun looks like a Nerf toy and his so called advanced rocket launcher is made of a PVC pipe attached to a handycam. This junk is like Jackass meets a Van Damme's DTV .

Review boiler room, Babylon ad , and chronicles of riddick.

I Loved Triple X it’s Generally one of Vin Diesels Best Action Films Like The Riddick Trilogy, Knockaround Guys, Find Me Guilty, And Saving Private Ryan

Review triple x 2.

I Like Rob Cohen he’s one of my favorite Directors Love Stealth, The Fast And The Furious, Alex Cross, Dragon, Dragonheart, Triple X, Hurricane Heist, Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor, Daylight, And The Skulls

Umm Matthew… the GTO wasn’t made by Ford Motors, it was made by Pontiac, a subsidiary of GM up until 2010. Just saying man.

Can you look at baby secret of the lost legend it is a dinosaur movie ?

i remember when this first came out and people thought it was a porno.

Til noticed the guy was assassinated Til just didn't care

I Love the hell out of this movie and I have since I first saw it wayyy back in 2002...in a year with a James Bond movie(which of the many things this movie is derivative of James Bond is the main thing) and The Bourne Identity this movie was still great and I actually like it more than Die Another Day(which I know is a low point for James Bond but I still love it) and almost as much as Bourne Identity and in some ways more...it's hella cliche no doubt but Vin Diesel is so likable in the role unlike in alot of his other movies where I'm really not liking him as much...Sam Jackson is great in anything and Martin Csokas I've loved that guy in everything since I saw this...even the lesser known bad guys were cool to me and Asia Argento was cool and hot as hell as the Bond Girl with dude playing Toby as the series Q also fun and likable and then the setting in Prague(a city I've been dying to visit ever since I saw it in this and Blade 2 another classic from 2002) is used to great effect..it's really an underrated movie imo and it's one of a handful of a movies that I can watch over and over and its still fun and hardly ever gets old...funny watching this one and other old spy movies like mi 2 and seeing the tech they had that was state of the art at the time but now it's ancient like the two way with Augustus video calling I was like wtf back then and 19 years later I'm actually still amazed at what phones can do but the cheapest phone in the world can video call like nothing now...where will be in 2040?

What I don't get about the senator or whatever at the beginning is how the hell did somebody like that get elected in California did the movie just forget about Silicon Valley or Hollywood or the fact that California is one of the most consistently liberal states in the nation.

welcome to the xander zone

I actually like Extreme Ops, Torque, And Biker Boyz There Guilty Pleasures

15:20 *Pontiac

21:00 if he kills them maybe it means he doesnt then need to pay them either? lol

Economic coercion is not consent, X.

Review rob zombies Halloween remake.

I love this movie, its so over the top! But that engine animation is very inaccurate

Best movie ever 🤙🏽

Whats up with the opening. Geez.

After rewatching Triple X: State Of The Union I actually liked But not that bad but not as good as Triple X, still Better than Triple X 3 which is Shit

Hey, love your videos but please don't do the fake laughs

It's wild how all the things we thought were passe in this movie (Russian villain, attempt to scapegoat rap/videogames) are all back en vogue...wild and sad. Also NICE redub, I absolutely cannot tell. Which sounds like I'm being sarcastic, but I'm not.

xXx: Return of Xander Cage is worst that this one what wasted RUBY ROSE actor

Doesn't look like Rob Cohen will redeem himself any time soon. His next film, The Hurricane Heist, is already getting bad buzz and is only tracking at a $7 Million opening.

Poor tony hawk, he probably didn’t get paid a single penny for this awful film.

Ford gto. That's a pontiac you british muppet

No2002 🔥🤔

just because this film stole ideas from bond film doesn't mean Bond films aren't stupid and childish,

If you stop trying to make jokes with that sketchy voice maybe your channel can make it you are good at describing these movies/videos but the jokes and puns and the extra little side videos it's not it's not it's not working. 🤔👎

26:37 the camera is actually a modified camera

8:11 I just realized this scene is a ripoff of a similar scene in Men In Black
